2. Safety Information
WARNING: Adult assembly is required for initial setup and to ensure structural stability. Children aged 5-7 may require parental assistance, while children aged 8-12 may be able to build with less supervision.
- Ensure all rods are securely inserted into the connecting balls to prevent collapse.
- Do not allow children to climb on or hang from the assembled structure.
- Use lightweight materials (e.g., bed sheets, light blankets) to cover the fort. Heavy blankets or other materials may cause the structure to become unstable.
- Regularly inspect all components for damage. Discontinue use if any part is broken or compromised.
- Keep small parts away from children under 3 years of age to prevent choking hazards.

4. Setup & Assembly
Assembling your Tiny Land Fort is straightforward. Follow these steps for a stable structure:
- Prepare the Balls: Ensure the four arrowheads on each connecting ball face upwards to begin building.
- Insert Rods: Twist each rod firmly into the desired hole in the connecting ball. Ensure the rod is adequately tightened for a secure connection.
- Adjust Angles: The connecting balls allow for angles in increments of 45 and 90 degrees. If angles don't match your desired structure, rotate the ball to find the correct alignment.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while using your Tiny Land Fort Building Kit, consider the following:
- Structure is Wobbly: Ensure all rods are fully inserted and twisted securely into the connecting balls. Check that the base is level and on a stable surface. Avoid using overly heavy blankets or covers.
- Rods are Difficult to Insert: Apply firm, steady pressure while twisting the rod into the ball. If a hole seems blocked, gently clear it. Adult assistance may be required for tighter connections.
- Missing Parts: Refer to the 'Package Contents' section to verify all pieces are present. If any parts are missing upon opening, please contact customer support.
